Düsseldorf, Germany (German, b. 1977)
Gerhard Richter is very important to me, because of his question about what painting is, which is what interested me most when I was a student.

Another thing that was really important to me was the simple act of drawing, because as you’re working, it’s a constant balance between being satisfied and correcting, again and again. My painting process has a lot to do with this—there might be mistakes along the way, but this is what makes the final thing interesting.
